    Hippo Signaling Instructs Ectopic but Not Normal Organ Growth

    The authors studied two commonly used models for organ growth control, the Drosophila eye and the mouse liver, in which they examined the effects of loss of Hippo signaling output on growth and its pattern of activity during normal development.

    Transcription Factors TEAD2 and E2A Globally Repress Acetyl-CoA Synthesis to Promote Tumorigenesis

    Unexpectedly, investigators found that acetyl-CoA levels were decreased in HCC due to transcriptional downregulation of all six acetyl-CoA biosynthesis pathways.

    ARID2 Mitigates Hepatic Steatosis via Promoting the Ubiquitination of JAK2

    Scientists demonstrated that liver-specific loss of Arid2 induced hepatic steatosis and this progression could be exacerbated by a high-fat diet.

    Branched-Chain Amino Acid Catabolism Breaks Glutamine Addiction to Sustain Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression

    Researchers demonstrated that branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism was activated in liver cancer cells without glutamine, leading to BCAA-derived carbon and nitrogen flow toward nucleotide synthesis.

    Myc-Mediated Circular RNA circMcph1/miR-370-3p/Irak2 Axis Is a Progressive Regulator in Hepatic Fibrosis

    Mechanistic assays such as luciferase reporter analysis, and chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed the molecular mechanism of the Myc/circMcph1/miR-370-3p/Irak2 axis in hepatic fibrosis.

    The Long Noncoding RNA TINCR Promotes Self-Renewal of Human Liver Cancer Stem Cells through Autophagy Activation

    TINCR was found to be highly expressed in HCC tissues and liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs). In vitro and in vivo assays for the first time showed that TINCR was required for LCSC self-renewal and tumorigenesis.

    Protective Effect of Hepatocyte-Enriched lncRNA-Mir122hg by Promoting Hepatocyte Proliferation in Acute Liver Injury

    Overexpression and silencing assays confirmed that Mir122hg played a protective role in acute injury by promoting hepatocyte proliferation in vivo and in vitro.

    Small Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen Promotes Hepatic Gluconeogenesis via Enhancing Glucagon/cAMP/Protein Kinase A/CREB Signaling

    Hepatocytes with HBV surface antigen expression exhibited increased glucose production and expression of gluconeogenic genes glucose-6-phosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in response to glucagon stimulation.

    DLGAP4 Acts as an Effective Prognostic Predictor for Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Is Closely Related to Tumour Progression

    In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to detect the effect of disc large associated protein 4 (DLGAP4) expression on the proliferation, migration and metastasis of HCC cells.

    Intercellular Communication Among Liver Cells in the Perisinusoidal Space of the Injured Liver: Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Directions

    The perisinusoidal space serves as a critical hub for activating hepatic stellate cells and their interactions with other cell types, which causes a variety of liver diseases such as hepatic inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and therefore the authors review intercellular communication in this space.
